Rajasthan – Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a rally in Barmer, Rajasthan, criticized the Congress party and its allies for their election manifestos, raising concerns over national security.
In his speech, PM Modi pointed out that the Congress manifesto bears the stamp of the Muslim League, a party he accused of being responsible for the partition of India. He expressed concern over this association, questioning the implications it could have on the country’s unity.
The Prime Minister also took aim at another party, a member of the INDI alliance, for a declaration in their manifesto that he described as ‘dangerous’ for the country. The party, which he did not name, has reportedly pledged to dismantle India’s nuclear arsenal.
PM Modi questioned the wisdom of such a move, especially considering that two of India’s neighbours are nuclear-armed. “When two of our neighbours are armed with nuclear weapons, should our nuclear weapons be destroyed?” he asked the crowd, adding, “What kind of an alliance is this which wants to make India powerless?”
The Prime Minister’s comments come in the wake of heightened tensions in the region and ongoing debates about national security. His remarks are likely to spark further discussions about the role of nuclear weapons in India’s defense strategy and the impact of election manifestos on national policy.
The rally in Barmer is part of the Prime Minister’s ongoing campaign efforts ahead of the upcoming elections. As the political landscape heats up, the issues of national security and the implications of party manifestos are set to remain key talking points.
